Make a button that links to another website, but opens that link in a new window?

Solution: Pull up the Text Editor where you put in the button, click on the "HTML" button at the bottom left.

The HTML for your button should look something like this...

<input type="button" style="width: 163px; color: 
rgb(29, 0, 237); height: 24px; background-color: rgb(249, 186, 0);"
size="217" value="Click here to go to example.com">

To make this button link to "www.example.com", insert the following "onclick" attribute...

onclick="window.open('http://www.example.com','', 
'width=800px,height=600px,resizable');"

So the full code for the button should look something like...

<input type="button" onclick="window.open('http://www.example.com','',
'width=800px, height=600px,resizable');"
style="width: 163px; color: rgb(29, 0, 237); 
height: 24px; background-color: rgb(249, 186, 0);" 
size="217" value="My Button">

Just replace "www.example.com" with the site you want to link to, and you're good to go.
